Popcorn and a Movie

Nothing beats a big bowl of freshly popped popcorn and watching "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". 

Where I Used To Live

I finally brought myself to return to my home town and visit the street where I used to live. The house that I grew up in is no longer there. There is a empty lot there now.  You see, my father passed away 5 years ago and I haven't been there since.  It has really changed.

7-Eleven is the best!

Thank you @7ElevenSoCal .  Who knew posting a pic for 7-11's birthday, I would receive these great coupons.  Gonna come in handy for a quick lunch.

It's Sabroso Saturday

I leisurely read my emails in the morning.  I get so many newsletters from the blogs I visit that if I don't keep my inbox tidy, it can be a headache!  I came upon this site Latina on a Mission through one of the blogs I visit.  I saw that this site also had a twitter account.  Since I love being on twitter, I decided to follow @MsLatina on twitter since I liked her blog.  Every now and then when I get a chance I read all the tweets in my feed, cause it does go by fast, she post links that refer back to her blog.  I especially like "It’s Sabroso Saturday (Translation: Tasty Saturday)! The day when we share recipes that have helped us stretch our budget, our imagination and our taste buds, without sacrificing our health".  There is also a linky so that others can post their own "Sabroso Saturday" recipes.  Since we eat with our eyes first, pictures are also posted.  What a great way to find something you find delicious and easy to make for your family.

What is the purpose of...?

I visit alot of blogs and some participate in this ritual of posting a picture and entitling the post Wordless Wednesday.  What is the purpose of Wordless Wednesday?   I guess what stumps me is that the title is Wordless Wednesday, but 9 times out of 10, there are comments that are included with the picure, so therefore it no longer is "Wordless...".  Yeah I know Google is my friend -----> off to Google "Wordless Wednesday". 

7/11/11

Did you get your free slurpee on 7 Eleven's birthday?  I took the kids to get theirs.  Plus they had hot dogs for 50 cents! 

Pretty Nails

I entered a Pretty Woman Airbrush nail giveaway at All Aboard (the review and giveaway train) .  I won these two sets.  Aren't they pretty?  I can't wait to try them out.

Mug Hug

I entered a Mug Hug giveaway over at Lifeonprint.  I won one of these great little items.  What it does is converts your favorite mug into a travel mug.  I know I will be using this alot since now I can travel with my favorite mug.

Rain on 4th of July?

Good thing we changed our 4th of July BBQ to the 3rd.  We had a freak storm.  So much water came down it flooded the backyard!

Our 3rd of July

Last month our friends invited us for a 4th of July BBQ.  Well they decided to change the day to the 3rd.  Reason being since they like to "celebrate" so if they had it on the 4th, people would be going to work on the 5th with hangovers....LOL  So having it on the 3rd gave people a day to chill out.  We had a blast.  It was hot, the kids had fun in the pool, and we ate great BBQ.  Then at night fall we had our own little fireworks in the street.

I Love Lucy

We have been purging in the garage.  Lots of junk and treasures....LOL  Guess what I found hidden away? 

We moved to this house 10 years ago, and this was still in the box packed with other items.  I still watch "I Love Lucy" shows and I do not get bored watching them over and over again.
